Additives in plastic products
Different plastics use different additives. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been commonly used in the production of polycarbonate plastic – a rigid material that is used in some food and beverage containers and the lining of food storage cans. BPA can leach into our food and drink from these materials, particularly when heated. Almost all individuals in developed countries now have detectable levels of BPA in their tissues.
